Dear Parents, Guardians, and Staff,
The senior musical production of “Hadestown: Teen Edition” opened last night to rave reviews! I had the privilege of being in attendance and it was an incredible experience. The level of talent on and off the stage is extraordinary. The entire production was extremely impressive and I strongly encourage our community to check it out. Details of the remaining performances are listed below.
I have a few announcements to share with you today:
Hadestown Teen Edition:
